"Listen closely Brothers, for my life's breath is all but spent. There shall come a time far from now when our Chapter itself is dying, even as I am now dying, and our foes shall gather to destroy us. Then my children, I shall listen for your call in whatever realm of death holds me, and come I shall, no matter what the laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there.

40k way better than goddamn halo...story is so much more interesting! That's only one of the many reasons I prefer 40k

So, Halo humans use Autoguns, and Covies use what is pretty much a lasgun if you read the description of what damage both do in the fluff. Neither Halo Faction has what you could call armor or even air support. So hands down the Imperial Guard would roll over the Humans with ease, and maybe get slowed down by the covies a bit. The space battle is a no doubt victory for the Imperial Navy vs the UNSC, and probably a some what tough fight against the Covies. Now for the Space Marines vs Spartans, if it is SII vs Space Marines, then hands down a Space Marine victory. SIII might be more challenging since there are a whole lot more.

Uggg, horrible writing in that article. Not a native english speaker for sure.

Pretty sure the OP is writing these articles he "notices" and posts up.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.
Stop making pointless topics...40k and halo...2 similar but very very different types of fantasy universe...

It is mostly correct, although it makes it seem far more one sided then it actually is.
A marine can take far more punishment then a Spartan.
Sparten armor basically relies on a limited shield, that can be taken down quite rapidly. During which time the Spartan has to hide while his shield recharges.
A space marine doesn't have this problem as his armor is always active.
Spartan biology is way inferior to Astartes biology. Most of their awsomness comes from their armor, which as has been established within Halo canon, is not capable of taking massive punishment for sustained periods(play the game on Hard, thats what the designers have stated is the "actual" level of the Halo weapons and damage capabilities)
Plus the Imperium has numbers and overall quantity on their side. The UNSC has a pitiful handful of soldiers.

Biologically space marines are also superior! 2 hearts, glands and god knows what...much more tougher and more down to earth than. Spartans...more manly also lol

The UNSC has:
-Power armour (albeit weaker)
-Decent enough tanks
-High-power laser weaponry (both man-portable, and on trucks and VTOLs)
-MAC Cannons (on ships and orbital defenses)
-Abundant Nuclear armaments
-Man-portable rocket launchers
-CIWS capability
The Covenant has:
-Plasma-based weaponry, including plasma grenades (functionally similar to krak)
-Advanced homing-technology for many weapons.
-Plasma-capable ground-attack craft
-Plasma-capable space interceptors
-Exterminatus-capable interstellar spacecraft
-Sophisticated FTL Travel-tech
Saying the 40k universe would win is a given. Equating the UNSC to men with no armor and autoguns, and the covenant to men with lasguns, is a bit ridiculous.
The 40k Imperium wins by Starship combat-technology, superheavies, and wealth of manpower.
But without these things; it'd be no cakewalk. Even with them; the UNSC-Covenant Alliance isn't without a fair shot at a few victories here and there.

2 hearts isn't really much of an advantage.
Chief has plenty of glands.
"More down to earth than spartans."
Uh; they pray to their bolters.

They would holdout for a while simply by virtue of being too small to bother with.

Is it any surprise that as is written the 40k universe soldiers would kick the Halo universe soldiers around; one is a decently written approach at a futuristic sci-fi universe where humanity are made the struggle, the other is a childish play ground in space where one race is completely super and nigh unbeatable until the writers feel one of the other races needs to become super and nigh unbeatable. Cookie to who can guess which is which (hint: Halo has some form of realism put into its writing, such as real human emotions and weaknesses, that goes for super humans too).
BTW, be nice to the OP; childishly plugging his own blog as if it were some radically new and cool writings by someone else isn't all he does here, he has a fair share of two word posts that add nothing to a thread but the number next to his post count.
